It also means that the smaller trips in the midlands and north don't need to get out of the way of a direct line from Manchester->London.

As someone from the North who considers themself ‘British’ rather than Scottish or English, I've always viewed Yorkshire as the ‘midlands’ :)

Joking aside, if Britain is every to grow beyond being quite so London-centric, we do really have to focus on the belt from Manchester to Hull more, North East too.
